John, Yes, all that I have read and seen about gas welding aluminum indicates that finessing the flame is key. The only way to learn it is by doing and getting the feel. I look forward to the challenge.

With gas you will also need flux. Aluminum welding takes lots of practice. I would suggest you pickup some stock that is thinner than what you will be using to build the tank and practice. Heat control is the road to success. When the aluminum will turn shinny one of two things will happen. 1) You make a hole. 2) You start welding. net.org/info.html
